Thanks, all of you, for your help and advice. I was just looking to avoid paying for windows, which I'll never use, anyway. I'm basically looking for a good machine, and don't mind trying out the preloaded distro: it'll be replaced soon, anyway. I'll do some research online first, as you suggested before buying one.
